MSNBC Host Slams AG Pam Bondi: 'Deliberately Ignorant'

DAMN, BONDI!

MSNBC host Michael Steele put Attorney General Pam Bondi on blast on Saturday for her flippant approach to information security.

“Is she being deliberately ignorant for the sake of playing down this whole thing?” Steele, a former head of the Republican National Committee, said on The Weekend.

His comments came in response to a clip of Bondi speaking with Fox News in which she defended the top Trump officials’ use of messaging app Signal.

“I don’t think foreign adversaries are able to hack Signal, as far as I know,” Bondi said on Fox News.

Steele was not impressed.

“As the attorney general of the United States, I’d think she would understand that in fact our foreign adversaries absolutely know how to dip into it,” he raged.

told us never to say “I DON’T THINK.”

Mark Twain told us, “Always tell the truth and you’ll never have to remember anything.”

Goodness, Gracious, one has to wonder why oh why did pammy get the job?

I don’t think therefore I am not.

Idiots and willfully so.

And she only got the job because she protected Krasnov/trump from his lawsuit concerning his “university” if memory serves me correctly.

Especially for state actors, especially if its connected to a foreign mobile or wifi network.

3. Pam Bondi is a thoroughly corrupt, lying POS who will say and do anything Trump wants. That's her job.

5. Hackers, as far as I know, can hack almost anything.

They see it as a challenge, especially if the phase "this can't be hacked" is uttered.

It's what the good ole boys do in Florida. If you're in a meeting and try to explain something to them, they all look at you with twisted foreheads and pretend not to understand.

It's a Florida thing.
